Trump Proposes U.S. Strategic Cryptocurrency Reserve to Bolster Economic Stability

The plan includes Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, aiming to position the U.S. as a leader in digital assets despite concerns over volatility and funding challenges.

President Donald Trump announced a proposal to establish a U.S. strategic cryptocurrency reserve, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, XRP, and Cardano.
The initiative seeks to diversify national reserves, hedge against monetary instability, and integrate digital assets into the U.S. financial system.
Critics highlight the risks of cryptocurrency volatility and the potential cost of building such a reserve, with Bitcoin alone currently valued at over $109,000 per coin.
The U.S. government already holds approximately 198,109 Bitcoin, largely seized from criminal activities, which could serve as a starting point for the reserve.
The proposal faces political and financial hurdles, including a lack of congressional support and skepticism about its strategic benefits and implementation feasibility.
